The time of year has come that I’m avoiding the oven. In fact, our entire menu this week is ovenless, except for the Dark Chocolate Almond Granola we baked a couple weeks ago and have on hand for a cool breakfast.
One of my very favorite no-oven ideas is to Bake Potatoes in the Crock Pot. There are all kinds of fun toppings for baked potatoes. Since they bake easily in the crock pot, we’ll likely be having different baked potato varieties all summer long.
Here’s what we’ll be eating this week. I love fun summer foods!
